MR spectroscopy significantly reduces need for breast biopsy
In a study featured in the June issue of Radiology, researchers found that imaging suspicious breast lesions with magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy reduced the need for biopsy by 58 percent. view more (2006-05-30)
Iron particles and MRI could replace biopsies to track stem cell therapy and deploy stents
In a series of experiments in animals, researchers at Johns Hopkins have successfully used a technique that tracks mesenchymal stem cells via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor the progress of the cells in repairing tissue scarred by heart attack. view more (2005-12-05)

Study using new imaging technology detects subtle brain changes in patients with Type 1 diabetes
Although people with diabetes are twice as likely as the general population to develop depression, the cause of this increased risk is not well understood. view more (2006-02-01)
Does stress damage the brain?
Individuals who experience military combat obviously endure extreme stress, and this exposure leaves many diagnosed with the psychiatric condition of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. PTSD is associated with several abnormalities in brain structure and function. view more (2008-03-19)
MRI drug may improve cancer-killing ability of chemotherapy, study says
A contrast agent currently used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), called mangafodipir, may increase the cancer-killing ability of some chemotherapy drugs while protecting normal cells. view more (2006-02-15)
MRI scans in premature infants can predict future developmental delays
A Washington University pediatrician at St. Louis Children's Hospital has found that performing MRI scans on pre-term infants' brains assists dramatically in predicting the babies' future developmental outcomes. view more (2006-08-17)
Reduced brain volume may predict dementia in healthy elderly people
Reduced volume, or atrophy, in parts of the brain known as the amygdala and hippocampus may predict which cognitively healthy elderly people will develop dementia over a six-year period. view more (2006-01-03)
Microscopic brain damage detected in early Alzheimer's disease
Researchers have developed a new computer-aided analysis technique to identify early cellular damage in Alzheimer's disease (AD). view more (2006-09-26)
Early treatment favored for multiple sclerosis
An editorial accompanying a published debate on the pros and cons of starting treatment early in the course of multiple sclerosis comes down in favor of early treatment for this potentially devastating disease. view more (2006-05-24)
High-quality marriages help to calm nerves
A University of Virginia neuroscientist has found that women under stress who hold their husbands' hands show signs of immediate relief, which can clearly be seen on their brain scans. view more (2006-12-19)
Questions over accuracy of MRI in diagnosing multiple sclerosis
The accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is not sufficient to rule in or rule out a diagnosis of MS with a high degree of certainty, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2006-03-24)
MRI contrast agent linked to rare disease
New research has shown a possible association between a popular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent and the incidence of a rare disease called nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in patients with kidney disease. view more (2007-01-29)
MRI used to map 'silent' heart changes that 'remodel' the heart
Using magnetic resonance imaging technology, or MRI, to tag the work of millions of individual strands of heart muscle fibers, researchers at Johns Hopkins have successfully mapped the smallest deformations inside the beating hearts of 441 middle-aged and elderly men and women who have either silently developed heart disease or remained healthy. view more (2005-08-23)
Newborn brains grow vision and movement regions first
The regions of the brain that control vision and other sensory information grow dramatically in the first few months following birth, while the area that controls abstract thought experiences very little growth during the same period, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers have found. view more (2007-02-09)
Mountain bikers are cautioned to ride with care-major injuries do happen
Mountain biking is considered a relatively safe sport, as accidents typically result in minor injuries. view more (2006-01-18)
'Electromagnetic Wormhole' Possible with Invisibility Technology
The team of mathematicians that first created the mathematics behind the "invisibility cloak" announced by physicists last October has now shown that the same technology could be used to generate an "electromagnetic wormhole." view more (2007-10-15)
